Having trouble keeping up with all of the mainstream women’s wrestling that takes place off TV? Well fear no more! Diva Dirt has got your back with the House Show Roundown! Without any further ado, let’s kick things off!
This week, both Raw & SmackDown were in action, as the Raw side of things brought us the inevitable Kelly Kelly & Eve Torres teaming together to face both Brie & Nikki Bella in tag team action. SmackDown went a different route, first providing AJ against Tamina, but then adding in Kaitlyn & Natalya for their second show to form a tag team bout. What happened this weekend? Check out the results below:

Thoughts: Raw had pretty much the same match we’ve been seeing for a while so I don’t have much to say on that, but SmackDown is where I’m interested, particularly the Sunday show. I assumed Natalya & Tamina may be on the same page since commentary continuously puts over Tamina as being similar to the Divas of Doom, but I kind of like it just being Nattie and Beth against everyone else. I’d love to see video of the aftermath to that show. Hopefully it hits the Internet soon. Overall, Raw’s drifting towards the same ol’ as SmackDown seems to be breathing life into something fresh.
